After the University of Maine Black Bears were eliminated from the NCAA Frozen Four tournament, the Colorado Avalanche wasted no time. Taylor Makar has officially signed an entry-level contract for the 2025-26 season with the Avalanche. Since the ELC kicks in next season, Makar will finish out the remainder of this season on an amateur try-out, or ATO, with the Colorado Eagles in the AHL. He will join recently signed Cooper Gay in Loveland as well.
